Week 5 of Spinning and Dyieng Class

Dye pots at school, 7/25:
Madder - Root - Salmons and browns. Our book showed red, purple and orange.
Sanderswood - browns
Oxalis - dingy yellow
Annatto - seed - bright orange and rust colors. This seed is used to color cheddar cheese.
Red Cabbage - pale blue and green. Class thinks it didn't get hot enough or the bath wasn't acidic enough.

Dye pots at home, 7/25:
Cedar - bark - pale, dull tans and browns
Sycamore - bark - gold/brown
Bougainville - fresh bracts (the colorful part) - yellow and green. I used red bracts and the water was bright red-orange.
Flowering Plum Tree - fresh leaves - pretty dark green and some purple-green colors
KoolAid - Black Cherry - dark red, Grape - almost black, Lemonade - yellow, Orange - orange, Pink lemonaide - light pink

Bougainville
Flowering Plum
Sycamore I think, could be the cedar
